What you need to know about dynamic risk measure.

Risk measures are designed to determine the minimum capital reserves required for financial institutions to ensure their financial stability. Conditional risk measures were designed as an extension to these ordinary static risk measures, because they take into account the information available at the time of the risk assessment. This means they can be updated over time as new information becomes available. A combination or sequence of these conditional risk measures is known as a dynamic risk measure.
